Try using saddle soap, like you'd use on a baseball mitt.
Unfortunately, other than that, you're pretty much out of luck with the hardened dash, much less soften it and then color it. The color will effectively seal the surface, so nothing will penetrate it to soften it, and if you put anything on the dash to soften it, you'd have to remove it all to get the color to stick.
Take a white rag and some dash cleaner like ones sold by Meguiars and Armor All. If you wipe the dash and the rag turns the color of the dash, it's history. The vinyl is breaking down from age.
